NevadaTeach, Minor

The minor in NevadaTeach is designed to provide students with an opportunity to explore teaching at the secondary level as a career option while simultaneously completing a major in their chosen STEM content area. After completion of the 18 credits designated for the minor students must decide whether or not they want to continue in the NevadaTeach program to complete the major, and, therefore, will not seek a license to teach at the 7th - 12th grade levels.
